We were beginning to worry Bill, either you had got lost in the underbrush or were planning to head back to work for a rest :Lol:

Which reminds me: a little more weeding and I should be allowed back into the workshop  :cartwheel:

More likely lost in the underbrush Jo. But will post more on that in the shop thread.

One more part finished up today, the cylinder head. After facing off the back side to get a flat surface I went to the mill and drilled the four mounting holes (photo 1) The 1" bolt circle lined up well with the center of each boss so that was encouraging. In order to turn the OD however I needed to make a simple jig out of some scrap aluminum, drilling and tapping it on the same bolt circle for 2-56 hardware (photos 2 & 3). Then with the head screwed onto the jig, it was easy enough to turn the OD to the proper diameter (photo 4). Then turning the part around in the 4 jaw and centering it the underside recess was machined with a combination of a grooving tool, and left and right hand tools as shown in photo 5. The center boss was then reduced to a height of 1/32" (half the depth of the total recess. The final piece is shown in the last two photos...top side then the underside.

Nice trepanning there Bill. I like the look of the cast bosses on it also.

The bosses were cast in as you say. Not sure if they retained that feature in the later casting kits. This set came from the all bronze days, before they changed over to cast iron for many parts.

It should be capable of it, but will need to build the PMR vertical boiler for it before that happens but it is on the list.

hee hee hee. That's three so far.

Not counting the one made not so long ago. (I can't find it and don't remember who did it but was hoping to use it as a reference aid.)

Thanks. I found the vertical I was thinking of. It was Tony's (AOG).

Apologies for the digression on your thread Bill.
